Dave Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 It's a yellow. End of fucking story. Dangerous? Aye, on planet Soft Cunt. Fucking hate football and the stupid fucking refs. Fucking hate Arsenal as well. In fact, I hate every single club in the fucking league. Fucking bastards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 It's going to be very difficult for him to come back from this. He will need a lot of mental strength. Plenty of time to turn it round but they will all be branding him a bad boy and a flop from now on regardless of whether you agree with the sending off.

Kanj Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I love seeing our own fans our call him an idiot when some soft prick jumps around and screams and gets back up not once but twice after Thauvin tackled him. Direct your anger at the man trying to cheat the game and the moron ref who bought the s*** he's selling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmonkey Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Never a red card imo. Studs on the shin, yes, but no weight or force behind it. Simply not a dangerous tackle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I think it's a fair point to suggest that today's challenge would have perhaps only been a yellow if it wasn't for that stupid challenge three seconds into his first PL game, but then he did make that challenge and today's looked between a yellow and a red too if we're being honest. He's already lost the benefit of the doubt with referees, and sadly he has mainly himself to blame for that. Would have felt aggrieved if he got a yellow for it man. I think there's plenty here seeing the challenge for what it is. I'm gutted that he's been sent off and we'll have to do with Papiss Cisse for the next three games now, but we can't really complain about that sending off if we're being honest. If Lee Cattermole made that challenge in front of a St. James' crowd we'd be calling for his head. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenige Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Challenges like that being red is football gone mad. The fact every pundit/expert on BT said it's absolutely the right decision speaks volumes about how stupid this game can be sometimes. I'm all for punishing players for bad challenges or going out to injure people, but stuff like that, when a player is late rather than malicious just ruins the match for everyone.

number9shirt Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 If you wanna be kind the red card was harsh, maybe the ref fancied being the first to send him off. Hope people don't give up on this lad I think he will become a great player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I love seeing our own fans our call him an idiot when some soft prick jumps around and screams and gets back up not once but twice after Thauvin tackled him. Direct your anger at the man trying to cheat the game and the moron ref who bought the s*** he's selling. Our fans can think what they like, if a player misses the ball and makes contact with the player instead, the ref is going to go for a foul, whether the player fouled is exaggerating or not. If there was no contact then that guy could be booked for diving. Unfortunately that's just the laws of the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhtoon Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I don't think it was malicious as he looked towards the ball as soon as it ran off. Still stupid and clumsy, not particularly surprised it could be interpreted as a red. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty66 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Football has gone soft,the minute you got booked for taking your shirt off changed that. That doesn't change that you can't give a red for that though,players need to know better. It's shit for us fans but that's what the game has become. Going in studs showing on a players shin,you have to expect a red. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 McClaren, the coaching staff and our senior players have their work cut out picking this lad up. He must be devastated, as I actually believe these stupid challenges are partly a consequence of a young lad being desperate to impress on the big stage.

He must be devastated, as I actually believe these stupid challenges are partly a consequence of a young lad being desperate to impress on the big stage. He was way too isolated for the short time he was on the pitch btw which led to him trying to lean into challenges more and push players out of the way etc as he knew he was outnumbered. That didn't help and the ref only saw him foul a few times then 'stamp'. Nothing but full backing for the lad imo from McLaren and co. I'd like to see them appeal even if they think they'll lose it. As you say he will need picking up now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Jerusalem Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 If it was Walcott or Ox making the same challenge in this match our media would no doubt be calling it a mistimed challenge and 'he's not that kind of player'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Wonder if Austin might become a target again, or at least another target man type. Aside from Mitrovic we have nobody in the squad who can lead the line up top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from Mitrovic we have nobody in the squad who can lead the line up top. Well at least his ban is coming in the middle of this horrible run of games that we'd struggle in anyway. Get him settled down for his comeback because we'll need him. Nothing in our recent history suggests we'd go for Austin because of a 3 game ban.

He would probably have just got a booking if that was the first time he'd done it, but he's built a rod for his own back with some clumsy tackles in every game he's played so far. He needs to learn to tackle with his studs down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree tbh, he's almost certainly too pricey to be brought in as competition. Maybe someone cheaper, a young player who's more of a CF. Maybe we think Riviere can be that guy?

BONTEMPI Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Did himself no favours getting that yellow in his first match. The cunt brigade that is premier refs have marked him from the off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 He's definitely a marked man. The new pantomime villain. It was a bouncing ball and I'm not sure he had a full view of the fouled player, so it looked very harsh to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
